What is the name of your state? Georgia
Here's one for you legal heads out there. I received a job offer from a company. Quit my previous job to relocate to a [place I had worked before but this was a whole new position and company. One of the people there had said I had failed to check out previously when I left. I reconfirmed that all things had cleared but that the checkout sheet had no-ones discernable signatures. This was not an official document and I wasn't allowed sufficient time to garner the signatures so I scribbled gibberish.
Bottom line is that I turned in everything. No-one has a problem with my returning except my new company whom it seems is looking for ways to back out.
They sent me an offer letter and I have signed and returned it to them and quit my previous employment. What should I do?
Thanks

**A: is the place that you are referring to a location such as a city, county, town, state? Or a company such as your employer?

One of the people there had said I had failed to check out previously when I left.

**A: what does that mean "one of the people there"; where? Any was this person management or a janitor?

**A: either fraud or forgery. Any such document that your employer requests is official.
**********

**A: no one should have a say except your new company.

**A: ask for your old job back that you just quit or start looking for a new job.

dlhayes, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense but from what I gather, an employer offered you a position and they subsequently discovered a document from your prior employment on which you forged signatures, so they pulled the offer.

They don't have to look for ways to back out - you've already handed them a perfectly good one. I suggest you start looking for another job asap.

D** Actually it's overseas working for a sub-contracter of the US government. At Naval Support Activity in Greece.

D** This was the director of the facility that gave me this check-out list on a Friday afternoon and had to have it in by Monday morning. Normally you are given 3 working days to complete it. I did in point of fact complete it but had forgotten the paper to take around.


**A: either fraud or forgery. Any such document that your employer requests is official.
**********
D** He wasn't my employer. My employer was satisfied with the way I had checked out and knew of the fraud/forgeries and has made a statement to that effect.


**A: no one should have a say except your new company.
********
D** If there is nothing that wasn't completed and even my previous boss verifies that this is true why would this be a problem?



**A: ask for your old job back that you just quit or start looking for a new job.
D** If that is true then they should have checked the placement to see if there was a problem prior to making the offer. If there were problems I should have been notified in some way or another. This brings me to the other question of why I wasn't notified of any problems prior to this?

Isn't an offer letter that states that the only hinderance being if my security check isn't approved and implied contract of some type?
